I'm a recent graduate of Georgetown Atelier in Seattle, Washington and have just started to compile a new body of work. Much of what you see here prior to 2011 is older work and hopefully you'll note an improvement. Because I paint both in Alla Prima (fast small works) and polished realism, both categories are listed as tabs beneath this section. Stay tuned. I'm a work in progress.

Reclining Nude, Oil on Linen

"Imaginings"Although I've been turning out a lot of studies and small pieces for school, I haven't produced anything I deemed worthy of posting. I liked this piece though. It's the last monochromatic piece I produced before heading into a limited palette and warm/cool temperature studies. It was four weeks in the making and I hope you like it. I'll be making some changes later based on suggestions by my instructor and I'll post them once I do. I have 12 weeks left until the sumnmer break and I'm feeling a lot like a horse headed home to the stable. I'll be glad when the summer comes.

About Me

Born and raised in New York, I spent many an afternoon at the Metropolitan Museum of art gazing at works by Dutch and Renaissance painters - an experience that influences my work to this day.
I attended FIT in New York and worked for 20 years in the graphic arts industry. I currently live in Port Angeles, WA.
In 1998 I started to pursue a career in fine arts. I have participated in numerous juried competitions and sold my work in diverse venues from art festivals to galleries. My work resides in hundreds of private collections and is presently in three permanent public collections that include The Corona Heritage Park Museum in Corona, CA, the Millard Sheets Gallery in Pomona, CA, and the Painted Ponies Project of Temecula, CA.
The Internet for me is the final frontier and an ever expanding one.
